Originated $94.3 million of new investment commitments and received $75.5 million in connection with full repayments and exits of investments.

Management Commentary

“We made continued progress toward optimizing our portfolio and capital structure during the second fiscal quarter,” said Edgar Lee, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Oaktree Strategic Income. “We exited most of our lower yielding, broadly syndicated loans and redeployed capital into new investments that we believe will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Importantly, a number of these investments were made alongside other Oaktree funds.”

“Our Board of Directors has approved a proposal to modify our asset coverage requirement from 200% to 150%, and we will also be seeking stockholder approval to accelerate the effective date of this change,” said Mathew Pendo, Chief Operating Officer of Oaktree Strategic Income. “We believe that increasing leverage on OCSI’s primarily first lien portfolio will allow us to further scale our portfolio and ultimately enhance the return on equity for our stockholders.”
